The founder of the neonazi criminal organisation Golden Dawn, Nikos Michaloliakos, is to return to prison after a Lamia Appeals Justices' Council on Monday ruled that his release on parole should be revoked. The appellate judges adopted the recommendation of the public prosecutor and reversed a decision by a Misdemeanour Court Judges Council for his conditional release from prison.
The testimony of far-right Golden Dawn leader Nikos Michaloliakos began in the Criminal Appeals Court on Wednesday, with Michaloliakos pleading 'not guilty' to the charges against him and claiming he was the victim of a political plot.

The Secretary General of the Golden Dawn Party, Nikos Michaloliakos gave a "non-apologetic" apology, which in essence is a political statement on the accusations made against him in relation to his alleged telephone conversations made before and after the murder of antifascist musical hip hop artist, Paulos Fissas.
